Formats Available

The Accompaniment Tracks are available in two formats: Physical CD (shipped to you), or MP3 Download (available for download immediately after checkout).

Additional Information

How to access the Digital Download Accompaniment Tracks

After you complete your purchase, you will receive an order confirmation email containing a link to download the files. You can also access your downloads by logging into your account on this website and selecting the "Downloads" tab under "My Account." When you click on the download link, your files will immediately begin downloading. We strongly suggest that you use a computer rather than a tablet or smartphone for this download. The download link will expire 6 months after purchase, but the master files that you have downloaded to your hard drive will never expire.

Inside the main folder you will find two sub-folders: one containing the .mp3 files for the Split-Track version of the accompaniment, and another containing the instrumental-only Stereo version. You may use whichever works best for you. The Stereo version contains no vocals at all.

What You May and May Not Do

You may save these files to your computer hard drive indefinitely.

You may play them back from that computer.

You may also transfer them to another digital device for playback (iPad, mp3 player, etc.).

You may import them into a production program like ProPresenter. You may burn a single CD to play from.

You maynot make multiple copies.

You may not post the tracks on a website, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc. for others to access.

You may not share in any way with the kids or their families. We have reproducible forms of our Demo Recordings which may be purchased on a per-copy basis to share with performers to help them learn, but we do not allow sharing of the Accompaniment Tracks.

You may not share these in any way with other individuals or groups. They will need to purchase their own. You should also not decide, after performing the musical, to give or sell the CD that you burned to another group. If you somehow lose the files, you may return to our website and download the files again (one of the advantages of purchasing the downloadable version!).

Split-Track Feature

The Split-Track files make special use of the left and right stereo channels of the recording. When played back in a “normal” stereo setup, you will hear only the instruments coming from the left speaker, and group vocals only (no solos) coming from the right speaker. There is no spoken dialog. The primary purpose of the Split-Track mix is to provide you with the option of independently controlling the volume of the vocals as compared to the instruments. How you accomplish this will depend on your actual playback setup. Whether with the left/right balance knob on a “boombox,” or using the faders on a mixing board in an auditorium sound system where the left channel is hooked up to one input and the right channel is hooked up to a separate input, or using the sound output control on a computer to fade left or right, if you are able to independently control the volume of the left and right stereo output, then you can raise, lower, and even eliminate the pre-recorded vocals. Why would you do this? Many people want their kids to hear the pre-recorded vocals through monitor speakers for support, but the audience to hear only “live” vocals through the main audience feed. This can be accomplished with the sound board as long as left and right outputs are fed to separate channels with independent fader controls. Others want to include just enough pre-recorded vocals in the mix to provide support to the live singers, but not to be particularly discernible to the audience. This can be accomplished in the same way with the sound board, but may also be accomplished by controlling the left/right output in the Sound Preferences of a computer being used for playback. Some want to use the vocals in rehearsals, but slowly “wean the singers off” over time. If there is a song with heavy choreography, the pre-recorded vocals may be needed more than on other songs, so the ability to control the relative volume is desirable. This can be accomplished with a sound board, or the computer Sound Preferences, or a boombox balance knob.

REPRODUCIBLE OPTIONS

Save money, enjoy more flexibility

We are happy to offer these special licensing options to make your life easier:

Reproducible Script & Lyrics

We provide you with a master file of the drama script and song lyrics (text only, no music score), and a license granting you legal permission to print copies for your kids, copy and paste into PowerPoint or other projection program to use in rehearsals and performance, print on a white board or flip chart. In fact, you can do all of these if you wish.

You tell us the total quantity of users, and you pay $2 per user regardless of whether you print out copies for them every week, or use only projection, etc. The fee is not “per copy,” but “per user.” If you pay for 25 now, and end up with 35 later, you just return here, log in to your account, and pay for the additional users. Or, if the quantity you need to add is less than the default minimum of 15 allowed by the shopping cart, please just email us at [email protected], and tell us how many more you need.

Along with the huge cost-savings, this option offers great flexibility in that you can easily edit the script, allowing you to add or subtract characters, change names, divide up parts, etc., before printing and distributing to your kids. You can also add in staging cues to fit your situation, or add your own director notes or instructions. You may also print copies to send home, print other copies to keep at church or school, print more copies to send home when the first ones are lost ;-), so that no one ever needs to be caught without their copy.

Reproducible Script & Lead Sheets

Similar to the Script & Lyrics, but the songs are single-stave vocal line scores (just like the choral book) presented in PDF files, while the drama script comes as an easy-to-edit Microsoft Word file. This also offers a tremendous cost savings at just $3.25 per user.

Reproducible Demo Recording

Burn your own CDs for just $5 per copy. We provide you with a license granting you full legal permission to either copy an existing CD (perhaps the CD that comes in the back of the Review Pack), or download the recording in MP3 format. Of course, you may prefer to purchase our Bulk CD 10-packs for $59.99 (essentially $6 per disc), or you may choose this reproducible option for $5 per copy.

In addition to the cost savings, this can provide some additional flexibility. You can opt for any quantity (5 copy minimum), and not be constrained to quantities of 10. Before burning your CD copies, you can choose exactly what you want on the copied CDs. For example, you may want to leave off the recorded drama dialog on the copies that most of the kids receive, and only include it on copies that the actors receive.

A Note About the Graphics

You may use these files free of charge to create web and print promotional materials for your performance. You may use these graphics to create any backdrops or set pieces, as well as activities and materials for rehearsal.

You may not use these graphics to create screen-printed shirts without further permission from us, and without paying additional licensing fees. Because we are also “in the t-shirt business,” we must license you and collect certain fees if you create your own t-shirts using our proprietary designs and graphics. Contact us at [email protected] to inquire further.

NOTE: These files are provided as Adobe Illustrator PDF files. As PDF files, they can be opened and read like any PDF in Adobe Acrobat, Preview on a Mac, etc. However, as Illustrator PDFs, they have the added virtue of retaining the design “layers” when opened in Adobe Illustrator. In Illustrator, they can be edited, and can be resized to virtually any dimensions without losing quality. If you have questions about working with these Illustrator PDFs, please consult a designer who works with Adobe design programs, or consult the internet, where you can find many articles addressing this subject.
